PEER TO PEER WORKGROUPS USING A ROUTER TO CONNET TO INTERNET

[Robin]

Please help, I have been at this for days now.
I am choosing to create a workgroup between three
computers. (xpro, 2000ro, and 98)
What configuration do I use? Is it residential gateway
or Direct thru a hub?
The current physical configuration is three computers
connected to wireless router which is connected to the
DSL.
If you could suggest a step-by-step that would be helpful.
Thx in advance

The Network Setup Wizard calls your router a residential gateway.
Specify that option when you run the Wizard on xpro and 98.

The Wizard won't run on 2000ro. On that computer, the default
network settings should work fine. Setting the workgroup name to
MSHOME, to match XP will make networking a little easier.
